By playing, Ms Antoniadou and Mr Horstman will be eligible for selection into the national team.

The national team will play in the World 3×3 U18 Championship in Spain later this year.

The 3×3 format means only three players from each team will be on the court at a time.

The women’s team will be coached by Korumburra’s Nat Weston, and the men’s team by Mildura’s Adam Tarr.

Other players in the teams come from, Shepparton, Geelong, Warrnambool, Portland and Bendigo.

Only Warragul and Warrnambool have more than one player in the teams.
